00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:06.200
<b>‘Tigh’ is an old Irish word</b>

00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:08.200
<b>for a house or a dwelling</b>

00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:11.120
<b>and ‘Alluis’ is to sweat or to perspire.</b>

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:13.920
<b>Initially, I joined a sweat lodge</b>

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:16.280
<b>and I was taken by the connection</b>

00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.800
<b>with the heat and the spiritual</b>
<b>and the mental.</b>

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.000
<b>So I bought the barrel sauna</b>

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.960
<b>and I done a lot of holistic events.</b>

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.600
<b>it just started to gather a bit more</b>

00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:28.680
<b>popularity and interest.</b>

00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:31.720
<b>Then Karl decided to</b>
<b>come on board with me.</b>

00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:34.040
<b>He was actually helping me all along.</b>

00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:37.880
<b>I suppose working together</b>
<b>as brothers is special.</b>

00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:39.800
<b>We're based in Glencullen,</b>

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:42.080
<b>which is still on the border of Dublin</b>

00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:44.720
<b>but we're looking out at the</b>
<b>Wicklow Mountains.</b>

00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:46.680
<b>We're off grid up here.</b>

00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:49.760
<b>Everything is powered by</b>
<b>natural resources,</b>

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:51.880
<b>whether it's the sun,</b>
<b>whether it’s solar,</b>

00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:53.560
<b>or your hot tubs.</b>

00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.480
<b>Both saunas, it’s all kiln dried birch</b>

00:00:56.480 --> 00:00:58.240
<b>and we work with nature.</b>

00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:02.120
<b>The yurt takes 14-15 people</b>

00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:03.840
<b>and the barrel takes 8.</b>

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.520
<b>So you can do a social sauna</b>

00:01:05.520 --> 00:01:07.280
<b>or you can book it out private,</b>

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:09.000
<b>so you can have the full yurt to yourself</b>

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:10.400
<b>or the full barrel to yourself.</b>

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.680
<b>We offer ice baths on request,</b>

00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.400
<b>otherwise the water does be</b>
<b>cold enough up here,</b>

00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:16.600
<b>you don't need the ice.</b>

00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:18.200
<b>And outside of those</b>

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.920
<b>I offer yoga classes in the mornings.</b>

00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:22.680
<b>I've just started ac men's group.</b>

00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.880
<b>We've had Wim Hof events,</b>
<b>we've had sound baths.</b>

00:01:25.880 --> 00:01:28.160
<b>Ireland's first ever sauna rave.</b>

00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.920
<b>The difference I would say</b>
<b>is attention,</b>

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.720
<b>the love and care of</b>
<b>what we're doing</b>

00:01:35.720 --> 00:01:39.160
<b>and how we bring that across</b>
<b>to make people feel welcome.</b>

00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:42.600
<b>Because we know everybody struggles</b>
<b>different things in their lives,</b>

00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:46.040
<b>and take it personal,</b>
<b>that the person will actually</b>

00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.200
<b>leave here in the lighter frame of mind</b>

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.800
<b>or they've learned about paganism</b>

00:01:50.800 --> 00:01:53.840
<b>or the culture of the old</b>
<b>saunas in Ireland,</b>

00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:55.640
<b>so I think that's what sets us apart.</b>

00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:00.200
<b>The beauty of it is we</b>
<b>don't know the destination</b>

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:03.480
<b>and we're just really living it</b>
<b>as a life experience</b>

00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.000
<b>and as these beautiful opportunities</b>
<b>come in, we take them</b>

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.920
<b>and they just lead us to different paths.</b>

00:06:04.760 --> 00:06:06.240
and it has its moments,

00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.240
So tea and Alice, originates from there?

00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.080
So yeah that

00:06:21.080 --> 00:06:24.480
that has its challenges
but it also has its uniqueness.

00:09:08.760 --> 00:09:11.080
Yes. Kind of
have to commit to come up here.

00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.120
But that's a nice way
because you can switch off for an hour.

00:09:14.640 --> 00:09:17.560
I suppose when you hike up to us.

00:09:17.560 --> 00:09:18.400
Okay. Fair enough.

00:09:18.400 --> 00:09:22.160
You're out of breath but when you turn
around, look out at the view.

00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:23.920
know, it's kind of worth it there.

00:09:23.920 --> 00:09:26.400
when you leave here as a customer, you're.

00:09:26.400 --> 00:09:28.120
You feel a bit lighter.

00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.160
I think that's our job done
